Haste_2 11/21/20 9:08:15 PM #458:	44) Ar Nosurge - Hidra Heteromycin Series ranking: 4 of 6 (EXA_PICO) https://youtu.be/O44aJ9Ywt7Y Composer: Haruka Shimotsuki, arr. by Eiichiro Yanagi Other credits: Haruka Shimotsuki (vocalist) Score: 8.9/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 9 (Lost R3), VGMC 11 (Lost R2), VGMC 12 (Lost R7 to Sunshine Coastline) Favorite Part: The first main section, as well as the ending I wonder what such a name translates as? Those BASS GUITARS man very grindy, yet very smooth at the same time...also very unified. Reminds me of hellish music, and I figure the music is about that sort of thing. What a banger. Nice switch from 3/4 to 4/4 near the start. FUN violin duet if I ever get good at violin this would be something fun to play! CATCHY rhythms in the bass are SO FUN (e.g. at 0:10) ...yes, this a big reason the rating is so high. The vocals are slightly muffled, and that lets us blend in with the style that much better. At 0:35 you get the formal melody I LOVE the syncopated singing and the flatted second note in the scale 1:31 the guitars subside and you got more, um, angelic singers/piano patterns/synths, a good contrast. Good harmonies toward the end of this section, too. But then after that they decide to combine! Both heaven and hell simultaneously! Nice little G.P. at 1:56. 1:57 the guitars GO NUTS, and now angelic choirs make nice support. WILD guitar soloI love the fast rhythmic patterns that kind of get "crammed" in, my favorite part probably being 3:29 - 3:32 :) :). Big crescendo into even longer G.P. at 4:44. Im liking the way it starts to calm down a bit at 5:28, while still maintaining the basic sound. GREAT ending chords starting at 5:51, with major 7ths between the calm violin and the rabid bass as they move down to the resolution! Eh, why not. Here's a list of all the credits for this track. Lyrics: Nao Hiyama Guitar: Eiichiro Yanagi (Astilbe x arendsii) Violin: Reiko Tsuchiya All programming: Eiichiro Yanagi (Astilbe x arendsii) 43) Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddys Kong Quest - Stickerbush Symphony Series ranking: 1 of 5 https://youtu.be/RR_ifniLcW4 Composer: David Wise Score: 8.9/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 1 (Lost R6 to Dream of a Shore Bordering Another World) Favorite Part: https://youtu.be/RR_ifniLcW4?t=39 Sorry about the extended play of this, but it's the only upload of this track I could find that sounds right to me. My favorite in the DKC2 OST goes back and forth between Forest Interlude and this, but more towards Stickerbush with NO R AFTER THE B (even the spell-checker doesnt like it!) lately. Very atmospheric and emotional. Theres the wind blowing (GREAT how it gradually rises in pitch), then theres the multi-channel echoes going on (with cool note choices AND rhythms), you got the synth pads weaving in and out.wow. Beautiful! QUITE the technical accomplishment, back in the day this was. Then you got little graceful melodic fragments carrying the music (a David Wise specialty), not the traditional melody+accompaniment. The electronic synth octave bounces are really awesome, because it plays more of an integral role with the music than youd normally expect. (the last part of each pattern is a BIT overpowering, albeit in a cool, panning fashion but its kind of endearing!! It gives a lot of buzzy oomph! Cool echo effects at random times (at 0:21, etc. with the plucked instrument). At 0:41 you finally get a full melody Ive always imagined that as being Dixie Kongs voice, actually (nevermind Dixie is the guitarist while Diddy is the vocalist normally). It sounds like shes out in an open canyon somewhere filling the empty space as much as she can singing her heart out about all of her innermost longings, knowing that nobody is around to hear it ;) I just love how it soars!!! It PIERCES my heart when it comes in!!!! Finally at 1:09 we hear some percussion to top it off. Harmonic patterns are very nice throughout, of course. Overall, this music is just greeeaaaattt!!! --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?"
